HOW TO GET RID OF MICE PERMANENTLY IN ALL-NATURAL WAY!

Mice can spread diseases through their urine (don’t forget the feces too) and that’s why they are not a welcome guest in our homes. But many of us are not fans of old school traps and rodenticides that pose serious risks to children, pets and the environment. This is why we are going to present you some DIY deterrents and repellents which will allow you to get rid of mice without using any toxic chemicals.

1. Peppermint Essential Oil

Mice have a stronger sense of smell than people. For instance, the smell of peppermint is refreshing for people but is unpleasant for mice. You will need cotton balls and essential oil for this repellent.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add 20-30 drops of peppermint essential oil to each cotton ball and put the balls somewhere in your home. Change the cotton balls once a week or whenever you notice the smell is fading.

2. Mouse Deterrent Spray

This spray doesn’t involve any manufactured chemicals or toxins, but you should wear goggles and gloves when you apply it because it is made from hot peppers. This spray contains habanero peppers, which rate at 100,000-350,000 units, and cayenne peppers, which have a scoville rating of 30,000-50,000 units.

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1/2 cup chopped habaneros
  • 2 tablespoons of hot pepper flakes
  • 1 gallon of fresh water
  • Two 2 gallon buckets
  • A gallon jug and a spray bottle
  • Cheesecloth
  • Gloves/goggles
  • A large pot

INSTRUCTIONS:

Boil the water in a large pot. Then put the peppers and flakes in a food processor and blend them well. Put the pepper blend into a 2-gallon bucket and pour the boiled water over them. Cover the mixture and allow it to sit for 24 hours. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth by pouring it into another 2-gallon bucket. Fill your spray bottle and spray around entrances. If you want to use the mixture inside the house, it is recommended to do that every second day. Do not apply the mixture on carpets.

3. Dryer Sheets

You will need  regular old dryer sheets.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place the dryer sheets around the problematic area. Replace them when the scent is faded.

4. Bring Out the Copper

You will need 1 roll of copper wire mesh/copper steel

INSTRUCTIONS:

Roll up the copper into thin wads and stuff firmly into cracks/holes/any entrances that are used by the mice. You can also spray with a little bit of hot pepper.

5. Cloves

You will need clove essential oil and cotton balls.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add 20-30 drops of clove essential oil to each cotton ball and place the balls around your home. Change the cotton balls once a week or whenever you notice the smell is fading.
